2 Northern population Early fox population Spreads northward and southward and separates Arctic Fox Different environmental conditions lead to different selective pressures and evolution into two different species. Southern population Adapted to cold through heavier fur, short ears, short legs, short nose. White fur matches snow for camouflage.
